UUID-home-grid lookup table, as a Kademlia DHT
Discussion for grid owners and HG enthusiast.
Just wondering how many would love to see this implemented for their sims grids.
One of the issues I find with HG is that most of the time the viewer only sends the UUID of an avatar or a group, and not the grid:port. The sim has a lookup table, but if that UUID has never been seen on this grid it has no way to find its home grid. The viewer may or may not have that info; in any case it does not send it.
Current workarounds are a look up table of visitors, to look at the last message to retrieve the grid info, creator info, leftover GridUser rows, and so on. That is not always possible. My understanding is OpenSim wanted to stay as compatible as stock SL / Firestorm as possible, so I am not discussing the option of having the viewer send these fields to the sim.
The idea that has been in my head for a while is to implement a distributed hash table of avatar and group UUIDs and their home grid:port. The DHT can be implemented with the Kademlia protocol. It was used in Kazaa, eMule’s Kad network and on BitTorrent’s Mainline DHT, Kazaa and the Kad/eMule side is the well-tested. There are C# libraries that already do this, Alethic.Kademlia, kademliath, dht-csharp, so we do not have to write the routing from scratch.
Each participating grid becomes a node in the DHT and seeds its own UUIDs and grid URL. Other grids can query the network to find where to request a profile or send an IM.
About privacy
No avatar information is sent to the DHT, no profile, no online status, no group info. It only says this number belongs to that grid. The grids still have full control to deny a profile request, an incoming message, and so on. So grid admins are in control of their resident privacy.
Assets are not included in the network. They are not needed. The unknown-grid problem is profiles, groups and IMs.
Resources
Just a UUID → grid:port (plus a signature) takes little space. Ballpark 100–200 bytes per record. 1,000,000 UUIDs may be in the low hundreds of megabytes for the whole overlay, and those are distributed across all nodes, so expect something like tens of megs per node even for tens of millions of UUIDs.
Bandwidth is little. A new UUID only needs to be seeded on account creation. UUIDs are immutable so there is no update. Once a day the grid can inform of deleted accounts or other housekeeping (URL change, tombstones).
Security
Records are signed. Only the grid that created the UUID can update or delete it.
I am not worried about “someone published this UUID first, now I cannot use it.” Grids mint their own UUIDs. If a number is already sitting in the DHT, you just create another one that belongs to you. The mapping is not a reservation of identity, it is only a pointer for lookups.
Kademlia and the libraries already take the usual overlay attacks into account, at least at the protocol level:
* Sybil: one operator spinning up many fake nodes
* Sibling / eclipse: crowding a target’s routing table so lookups only hit attacker nodes
* Prefix hoarding: parking nodes so you own a slice of the key space
* Routing-table poisoning: feeding bad contacts
* Churn / flood: join/leave or store spam to wear nodes out
While I am writing this I think it can later be expanded to include land / region search. Same overlay, different key type. Not needed for v1.
Making OpenSim actually a decentralized metaverse
This unknown UUID thing affects mainly Standalones sim and mini-grids, with residents they spend most of their time out on the HG, and most of their visitors are HG visitors. But in general a shared lookup helps the small less popular grids as much as the large ones.

Halloween with Fred: The Zombie That Just Won’t Stay Dead
Halloween is creeping closer, which means it is time to dig through the wonderfully strange corners of Outworldz and resurrect a few old friends.
And this one is very difficult to keep dead.
Meet Fred’s Animated Zombie.
This isn't the sort of zombie that stands in the corner of your Halloween build looking menacing while everyone ignores it.
Fred apparently looked at that idea and decided zombies needed a better job description.
This zombie walks.
It attacks.
It makes noise.
You can hit it.
It falls apart.
It puts itself back together.
And, naturally...
YOU CAN RIDE IT.
Because why run away from the zombie when you can climb aboard and drive the thing around?
A Zombie With a Few Tricks Left in Him
Fred designed the zombie as an animated wandering character using his Prim Animation Compiler system.
The animation sequence includes standing, attacking, walking with alternating left and right steps, reacting to hits, taking a particularly nasty hit, and finally falling completely to pieces.
But death is apparently only a temporary inconvenience.
After enough abuse, the zombie collapses into scattered pieces on the ground.
Wait a bit...
...and he puts himself back together.
Then off he goes again.
There is something wonderfully Fred about engineering an undead creature that even death can't persuade to stop working.
Go Ahead. Hit Him.
The zombie actually keeps score as people interact with him.
Clicking him causes a hit reaction and eventually does enough damage to trigger the full death animation.
Head, arms, body — down he goes.
Then the zombie reassembles himself and resumes wandering around.
It makes a great interactive Halloween prop because visitors aren't simply looking at something spooky. They're causing things to happen.
And probably clicking him repeatedly just to see him explode again.
We know how people are.
But Wait — There's a Ride Me Button
This may be my favorite part.
Right-click the zombie and choose RIDE ME.
Your avatar climbs aboard, and suddenly the shambling Halloween decoration has become transportation.
Fred's script turns the zombie into a controllable vehicle, allowing you to steer him with your arrow keys.
So while everyone else is arriving at the Halloween party on broomsticks, motorcycles and dragons, you can make your entrance...
piggybacking on a zombie.
I think that wins Halloween.
When You Get Off, It Gets Even Better
Getting off your undead transportation doesn't simply end the ride.
The zombie falls apart.
Then he reassembles himself.
Then he walks back home.
Because apparently Fred even taught the zombie to clean up after the party.
The Engineering Behind the Silly
That's what I particularly enjoy about discoveries like this in the Outworldz archives.
They're funny, but underneath the humor is some genuinely clever scripting.
The zombie combines prim animation, sounds, physics, vehicle controls, randomized movement, interaction, damage scoring, roaming boundaries and a home position into one wonderfully ridiculous project.
Fred didn't just explain how to use it, either. His original tutorial documents how the animations are recorded, how the physics base is constructed, how the sounds are added, how the riding position is created and how the scripts work together.
It's one of those projects where you can play with the finished creation — or dig into the code and learn something from the way it was made.
That has always been part of the fun of Outworldz.
Build something.
Take it apart.
Learn how it works.
Change it.
And occasionally ride it around while it makes monster noises.
Resurrect Something This Halloween
There are years and years of creations tucked away at Outworldz, and Halloween seems like an excellent excuse to start opening some of those old crypts.
Fred's zombie certainly deserves another walk among the living.
Just remember one important rule:
If you manage to kill him...
don't celebrate too quickly.
He's getting back up. https://outworldz.com/Secondlife/posts/zombie/

🦋 Butterflies Always Near 🦋
Butterflies have a very special meaning to me.
At 96 years old, my mother was still creating. One of the last things she made for her daughters was a sequined butterfly. She carefully placed every single sequin by hand. She passed away only a few months later, on September 18, 2024.
Those butterflies became something I treasure, and now they have inspired this little creation.
Butterflies Always Near is a butterfly choker created in remembrance of my mother and also in memory of Dolly Parton, whose love of butterflies made this tribute feel especially fitting.
Each choker comes nestled inside a lavender butterfly keepsake box and will be given as a gift at Monentes Jewelry.
A butterfly may only stay for a moment, but somehow its beauty stays with us.
For those we love, and those we remember — butterflies are always near. 🦋

Some of the most interesting developments in DreamGrid don't arrive with a lot of noise.
Fred Beckhusen just quietly keeps building.

Modding the LouTan movement reactive hex dancefloor to no longer only react to stepping on it physically, but also when on solo and couple dance balls , huds, chimeras etc. Why is this challenging? sounds ez? Well, opensim and sl treat you as a ghost more or less when you are being animated. You are no longer a physical thing. While my enhancements are far from flawless, i feel it adds an extra level of realism and interest to an already super cool item. Found the original from Druskus and ZoneNations, i do believe. so all credit to him and them. I'm just trying to make it even cooler!

Silence reigns in my establishment this morning. After a night of celebrations, dancing... and more besides... quiet has settled in. But... at dusk, the first customers cross the threshold of this magical world, where a whisky and a sweet smile transport you to paradise.

Very cute Enchanted Mushroom Village for your fantasy world! Stop by and grab one! Enjoy!
WE ARE BACK — SUBTERRANEA
You thought we were gone?
We’ve been hiding UNDERGROUND, charging the speakers, feeding the demons and arguing over who gets the better tunes.
This time we're bringing DJ Chocolate & Adrian Moon together for a proper subterranean takeover — and this one is all about NU DISCO.
Today 09/10/2026
DJ CHOCOLATE — 11AM → 1PM
ADRIAN MOON — 1PM → 3PM
Expect funky basslines, disco grooves, shimmering synths, dirty little edits, deep house flavours and enough groove to make even the furniture start dancing.
Basically...
disco went underground, got darker, got sexier and found a bassline.
Come for the music.
hop://grid.virtual-worlds.zone:8002/Mosaic/128/244/23
Stay because you’ve forgotten where the exit is.
NU DISCO • DEEP GROOVES • UNDERGROUND ENERGY
MUSIC • PEOPLE • UNDERGROUND • AGAIN

FLEETWOOD BEACH PLATES 1 - Say Good bye to terraforming
One request in advance: Please give me feedback on whether you find the plates useful and whether I should continue developing them. Your feedback helps me with my work. Thank you very much!
FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates: Flexible Terrain for OpenSim – Without Traditional Terraforming
With the FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates, landscapes in OpenSim can be designed much more flexibly than with standard sim terrain alone. Instead of laboriously raising, lowering, and repeatedly adjusting the fixed region terrain, you build your landscape from freely placeable mesh terrain plates.
This makes it possible to create beaches, dunes, forest areas, transition zones, paths, slopes, and entire landscape sections exactly where you need them.
The major advantage: the plates remain objects. You can move, rotate, scale, replace, or completely rearrange them at any time without permanently altering the actual sim terrain.
Seamless Textures Across Multiple Plates
The system automatically aligns textures to the region coordinates. This means the texture does not restart on every individual plate, but continues across neighboring plates.
The size, position, and rotation of each terrain plate are automatically taken into account. If a plate is moved, rotated, or scaled, the texture alignment adjusts accordingly.
The result is a continuous landscape in which the individual terrain plates are much less noticeable as separate objects.
Automatic Tiling
The texture is automatically adjusted to the size of the plate.
One texture tile corresponds to a fixed terrain size within the system. Larger plates automatically receive more repeats, while smaller plates receive fewer.
This means the user does not have to manually adjust texture repeats, offsets, and rotation for every single terrain plate.
Central Texture Control
Clicking on a terrain plate opens the integrated texture menu.
The textures stored in the plate’s inventory are detected automatically and can be selected directly. No complicated naming convention is required.
You can also use your own textures without any problem. The only requirement is that they are seamless, tileable textures.
Simply place new textures into the terrain plate’s inventory. The system detects them automatically and displays them in the texture menu.
When a texture is changed, it is automatically applied to all related terrain plates within the same group.
For example, an entire beach area can be redesigned with a single texture change.
Brightness and Color Are Synchronized Too
Not only the texture itself can be changed together.
The surface color and brightness can also be synchronized within a group. This allows an entire landscape area to be made lighter, darker, warmer, or cooler without having to edit every plate individually.
The alpha value can also be synchronized.
This is especially useful when different terrain materials need to be visually matched to each other.
Terrain Groups
The terrain plates are already assigned to different terrain groups such as Beach, Forest, Dunes, or Rock.
Texture, brightness, and alpha are synchronized only within the corresponding group. A change made to the Beach Plates, for example, does not affect the Forest Plates.
This allows several different landscape areas on the same sim to be designed and adjusted independently.
Advantages Compared to Traditional Sim Terraforming
Traditional terraforming works well for the large basic shapes of a region, but it is considerably more limited when it comes to precise landscape forms.
The FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates offer much more freedom.
The plates can be freely moved, rotated, scaled, copied, deleted, or replaced at any time. This makes it easy to redesign a landscape later without having to rework the actual sim terrain.
Specially shaped mesh plates also make it possible to create terrain forms that are difficult or impossible to achieve with normal terraforming, such as:
gentle dunes,
beach slopes,
embankments,
hills,
depressions,
terrain steps,
shoreline areas,
or transitions into the water.
This is especially useful for beaches. A plate can, for example, begin to slope gently from its center and continue down to water level. This creates a controlled beach transition without having to lower large areas of the sim terrain.
Another advantage is the freedom of height. Mesh terrain does not have to be used only at ground level. Raised landscapes, terraces, sky landscapes, floating islands, or additional terrain levels can also be created.
The terrain plates function as modular landscape building blocks. Different shapes can be combined freely, for example flat plates, hills, dunes, depressions, beach slopes, transition pieces, or edge sections.
And if the landscape needs to be changed later, the entire terrain does not have to be rebuilt. The relevant plates can simply be moved, replaced, or removed.
FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates - Modular. Seamless. Freely placeable. Group-controlled.
For OpenSim landscapes that can be designed, expanded, and changed flexibly at any time.
You can find the plates in my main store.
